Hey Brett, sorry I can't give you much feedback on you design but it looks to me like it will work. My only comment is that you may find you do not have enough flow with that pump running your closed loop. I am not sure what size tank it is but if you are planning on trying SPS in the future you should be aiming for probably 30 - 50 times total tank volumme turnover per hour. On my 230g tank, which is heading to be more softie and LPS I have 40X turnover and my 190g which will be and SPS tank I have close to 100X turnover. You may want to look at using an Ocean Motions device to really give you some nice flow patterns if it fits into your budget.
